Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of Oct. 84 of 13
Hulk Tidbit of the Week
While Thor: Ragnarok has superhero fans buzzing, some of us are wondering why we haven’t seen a new standalone movie for the fan favorite, scene-stealing green guy. Well, similar to how Marvel doesn’t currently hold the rights for the X-Men characters, which is owned by Fox, or for the Spider-Man character, which is owned by Sony, Marvel doesn’t own the rights for a standalone Hulk movie. Universal owns the character. So, Bruce Banner and his alter ego aren’t going to get their own movie, no matter how much Mark Ruffalo and the fans want one. However, in a recent interview, Mark revealed that we would be getting a Hulk trilogy, of sorts. Buried within Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers 4 will be a new story arc for the Hulk. How Marvel creative honchos are going to cram that into everything else that’s going on (especially in Infinity War), we have no idea. But we’re eager to find out.
